You have probably heard about Plex on more than one occasion. Yes, exactly, it is that multimedia content platform with which you can enjoy your entire media library anywhere. That is to say, Plex works through its own server and then we have different mobile applications, tablets, computer or media center in order to have a control center.
Well, those in charge of the development of Plex have their own laboratory with which to experiment and thus be able to find more solutions and improvements for their ecosystem. And the last to join was Plexamp, a desktop music player based on Plex and an inspiring model: Winamp.
As its creators have explained in a statement, Plexamp wants to look like Winamp but adapting perfectly to the times. Winamp celebrated its twentieth anniversary last April. And perhaps Plexamp is its natural successor.
You do not want complications of use. Also, they want it to be as lightweight as possible, so it will only work with a single screen. Furthermore, Plexamp is developed under the Electron framework, a platform that allows the development of multiplatform applications. Hence currently Plexamp can run on macOS and Windows.
On the other hand, it is true that it will be able to with all the formats on the market. Of course, all your music must be on the Plex server. In addition, according to the company, you can use it in a way offline in situations like in a plane or in a private submarine (¿?) as long as you have the server installed on a laptop.
Lastly, Plexamp also wants to provide a beautiful visual experience: "Details matter," say the developers. Hence, it extracts colors from album art for different elements of the player. You can also use the music player to control other Plex players and it can be remotely controlled by itself. If you want to try Plexamp and you are a Plex user, download it for free from here.
